Image
  jwin7 The Champions Trophy 2025 final between India and New Zealand on Sunday proved disappointing for Rohit Sharma and his teammates. The Black Caps chose to bat first and got off to a good start, scoring first and remaining unbeaten in 8 innings. However, India bounced back strongly and took three runs in the next five overs to leave New Zealand at 75/3 in 12.2 overs. Spinner Kuldeep Yadav took three wickets while Varun Chakarvarthy took one. Just when India was aiming for a fourth breakthrough, it suffered a huge blow. In the 22nd over, Rohit Sharma handed the ball to all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja and with the help of Tom Latham and Daryl Mitchell, New Zealand were steady in the innings. In the fourth delivery of the over, Jadeja hit Latham's leg guard and appealed to be ruled LBW. The field indicated not out and Rohit came over to discuss the situation with his teammates. Although wicketkeeper KL Rahul was reluctant to accept DRS, Jadeja convinced Rohit to use the review. When...

India vs Bangladesh: Krikya Gildon and Shammi Pfeiffer help India beat Bangladesh

Image
  Krikya Shubman Gill’s previous three scores in the Champions Trophy were: 87, 60 and 112 (all against England). The 25-year-old continued his dazzling form on Thursday, hitting his eighth one-day international hundred (101, 129, 9x4, 2x6) to help India beat Bangladesh by six wickets at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium to open their Champions Trophy campaign. Chasing a modest target of 229 runs, Gill expertly led the chase, proving why he is the number one batsman in this format. He was active in the PowerPlay and then hunkered down in the tricky middle of the spinners’ attack to ensure the Azzurri took their first points of the game. However, the victory was largely created by the bowlers, led by Mohammed Shami (10-0-53-5), who took five wickets for the sixth time to restrict Bangladesh to 228 runs. On a slower pitch, maximising the PowerPlay was crucial and opening bowlers Rohit Sharma and Gill gave India a brilliant start, scoring 69 runs in the first 10 overs. However,...
